Abstract:
Provided are a method and apparatus for estimating a center line of an intersection by recognizing a crosswalk on a road input through a camera installed in a vehicle. The apparatus includes a road information providing unit which provides information about a road being traveled based on location information of a traveling vehicle; a crosswalk recognizing unit which recognizes a crosswalk based on an input image of the intersection and the information about the road and obtains a distance from the traveling vehicle to the crosswalk; and an intersection center line estimating unit which estimates the center line of the intersection based on the information about the road and the distance from the traveling vehicle to the crosswalk. Since the center line of the intersection is estimated, the apparatus and method of estimating a center line of an intersection according to the present invention can prevent traffic accidents occurring frequently at an intersection and helps indicate direction information of ‘real vehicle navigation.’

Abstract:
A resource management method and apparatus in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) cellular system supporting a first system communication mode and a second system communication mode in an uplink using Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM) are provided. A resource management apparatus provided in a Base Station (BS) or a Mobile Station (MS) subchannelizes physical resource units constituting a system bandwidth into a plurality of subchannels according a scheme defined in the first system communication mode, and renumbers the plurality of subchannels with indexes in reverse order to be used for an MS operating in the second system communication mode. The plurality of subchannels having the renumbered indexes are used for resource allocation and data exchange between the BS and the MS operating in the second system communication mode.
Abstract:
A transmitter of an apparatus position in a moving body transmits a first move command signal for moving a radio frequency identification tag to a location within an identification distance to a receiver positioned within a communication distance. A radio frequency identification reader of the moving body transmits an information request signal to the radio frequency identification tag that moves from a first location to a second location corresponding to a location within an identification distance in accordance with a first move command signal and receives a response signal corresponding to the information request signal from the radio frequency identification tag.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for controlling a Hybrid Automatic Repeat reQuest (HARQ) operation in a transmitter of a wireless mobile communication system using each frame constituted by a plurality of subframes are provided. In the method for controlling an HARQ operation, indication information indicating a subframe position where transmission of a data burst starts and the number of subframes required for transmission of the data burst is transmitted to a receiver through an i-th frame. When the number of subframes does not exceed a threshold, it is determined that the data burst at the subframe position indicated by indication information of an (i+1)-th frame is retransmitted to the receiver. When the number of subframes exceeds the threshold, it is determined that the data burst at the subframe position indicated by indication information of an (i+n)-th frame, where n is a positive integer exceeding 1, is retransmitted to the receiver.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for transmitting and receiving MAP information in a communication system are provided. A base station acquires channel quality information of each mobile station, generates sub-MAPs using MAP information, to which at least one of a coding scheme, a modulation scheme and a repetition scheme is applied, separately for each mobile station according to the channel quality information, and transmits the generated sub-MAPs. A mobile station receives MAP information from the base station, detects a sub-MAP allocated to the mobile station from the received MAP information, and restores the detected sub-MAP to MAP information using at least one of a corresponding decoding scheme, demodulation scheme and repetition scheme corresponding to coding scheme, modulation scheme and repetition scheme applied in the base station, based on channel quality information of the mobile station. Accordingly, system overhead can be reduced.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for generating subchannels in a communication system are provided. An apparatus and method of the invention includes a Base Station (BS) in which the BS groups J slots included in a subchannel generation zone into I groups, selects, from the J slots, M band-Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) slots with which it will generate a band-AMC subchannel, selects (J-M) slots as diversity slots with which it will generate a diversity subchannel, generates the band-AMC subchannel using the M slots and generates the diversity subchannel using the (J-M) slots.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for supporting the safe navigation of ships based on mobile terminals which can prevent accidents at sea including marine collisions between small ships sailing near the coastline. The method for supporting the safe navigation of a ship in conjunction with a mobile terminal carried by a crew member of a ship includes collecting information about the navigation of the ship by a safe ship navigation supporting apparatus positioned in the ship, collecting information about surrounding ship through group communication with a server corresponding to the surrounding ship, converting a chart transmitted from a ground server into a format compatible with the mobile terminal, and applying safe navigation information created on the basis of the information about the navigation and the information about the ship to the converted chart, and providing the crew member with the safe navigation information through the mobile terminal.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for tracking a beam in a wireless communication system are provided. In the method, a plurality of downlink reference signals are received from a base station and at least one downlink transmission beam pattern is determined. A plurality of uplink reference signals are transmitted to the base station, each includes identifier information corresponding to the determined at least one downlink transmission beam pattern. ACKnowledgement (ACK) information indicating that the base station has successfully received an identifier included in the identifier information corresponding to the determined at least one downlink transmission beam pattern from identifier information corresponding to an uplink transmission beam pattern and that the plurality of uplink reference signals from the base station is received.
Abstract:
A method and a Base Station (BS) of transmitting information for Random Access (RA) by a base station in a wireless communication system are provided. The BS generates RA information for beam alignment between the base station and each of a plurality of mobile terminals based on a number of reception beam forming patterns of the base station used for each of one or more RA channels and broadcasts the RA information to the plurality of mobile terminals. The RA information comprises information related to the number of reception beam forming patterns of the base station used for each of the one or more RA channels.
